Working with the school
Strong communication between parents and schools can make a significant difference during the transition period.
Helpful steps include:
- Sharing information about your child’s strengths and needs
- Requesting reasonable adjustments if appropriate
- Identifying a trusted adult your child can approach at school
- Maintaining regular communication during the first term
Reasonable adjustments may include:
- movement breaks
- visual timetables
- additional organisational support
- quiet spaces for regulation
These supports help students access education more effectively, and making reasonable adjustments is a legal requirement for any individual with a diagnosed neurodivergent condition.
